pound for the available Nitrogen it contains, than any ^ ts for 

 other Nitrogenous fertilizer, its rational use is most 

 profitable at present, and has been so since the very 

 beginning of its use in agriculture. 



What Experiment Station Directors Say : 



"I can safely state that there are a large number 

 of farmers in New Jersey who mix their fertilizers and 

 who find home-mixed material very satisfactory and 

 less costly than the manufactured products." —Jacob 

 B. Lipman, Director New Jersey Agric. Exp't. Station. 



"We advocate home mixing of fertilizers mainly 

 from the fact that we can modify the fertilizers to suit 

 the crop and the soil, and can avoid the purchase of 

 elements not required for ordinary purposes." — W. R. 

 Dodson, Dean and Director, La. State University 

 College of Agriculture and Agric. Exp't. Station. 



"We practice and preach that farmers should mix 

 their own fertilizers. In our experience, it is entirely 

 practical for the farmer to mix his own fertilizer. 

 The work can be done thoroughly enough for all prac- 

 tical purposes." — H. J. Patterson, Director Maryland 

 Agric. Exp't. Station. 



"This Station has for the past ten years advised 

 farmers to buy high grade raw materials and mix their 

 fertilizers at home. The home mixing cheapens the 

 cost of fertilizers since only such elements as are needed 

 by the plant or are deficient in the soil are used. Prac- 

 tically all of our most intelligent farmers mix their 

 fertilizers at home."— E. R. Lloyd, Director Mississippi 

 Agric. Exp't. Station. 



"We find that as a farm proposition, home-mixed 

 fertilizers are more economical and more effective than 

 the regular factory brands."— Chas. E. Thorne, 

 Director Ohio Agric. Exp't. Station. 



"On every account, however, financial, educational, 

 agricultural, it is better to buy the crude stock and 

 home mix if one uses a ton or more." —J. L. Hills, 

 Director Vermont Agric. Exp't. Station.
